about joe mccarthy. my father wrote a kind letter back saying you haven't really persuaded me about the greatness of joe mccarthy. [laughter] i'm so r. a. won't to give you a blurb. >> they were even better friends. the both of you, did he have qualms as a historian about keeping, but making so many choices in a contemporaneous way in his journals and newsletters and he's very tough on eisenhower. it's just the most dreadful day for him that you can possibly imagine. there has been a whole way no thinking about eisenhower presidency for example and jon and i were talking earlier. in fact he was behind-the-scenes playing a much more enlightened role than anyone knew at the time because he had been to war when stalin died about dealing with the leadership and it was a really daring enterprise. did arthur at any point say you know i might've had that piece a little bit wrong? >> what's interesting about my father even though he had deep skepticism about eisenhower he was fascinated by american presidents. h

i wonder if you ever heard that one. >> joe mccarthy in d.c. mccarthy, did he vote? >> she did not. he abstained. >> well, kennedy -- one thing, kennedy was still a lot. and it was actually ten months from the middle of 54 to the middle of 55 where he was gone. he was recuperating. it was december 54. so there was a procedure called peering which he could have cast his -- made his views known. but it was a very complicated relationship because mccarthy was a family friend. he had -- yes. joe mccarthy was a senator from wisconsin who has -- was one of the real sharp cold warriors and involved a lot of accusations about people's patriotism and that sort of thing. so kennedy had, you know, the family knew him well. i think kennedy was at his wedding. mccarthy was the kennedys. there was a history. kennedy was a shrewd guy and sought by the mid-50s, early 50's that mccarthy was a bit of a toxic senator, and so we kind of kept his distance. he was very wary. people come up to him, what do you think about joe mccarthy. he would give very terse answers so, you know, kennedy did not vote on

he never confronted joe mccarthy even though he could have. he made those decisions on china later in his presidency without really being decisive. he used a completely false accusation in the missile gap against the eisenhart administration which was completely unfounded. so it seems to me his presidency was just crisis driven. we had the bay of pigs. we had the cuban missile crisis, what were his genuine political goals? what do you think? >> well i mean that's one of the great questions. there was no doubt that there was a very very strongly political aspect to kennedy. he wanted the top job and probably wanted it without having a particularly clear agenda as to what he wanted to do with it apart from some of the most general defending the nation and so forth. one point on the missile gap because that's kind of interesting. there was a big debate and whether the united states had fallen behind the soviet union. you could argue that president kennedy was somewhat cynical but eisenhower appointed this high-profile commission in 1957 which cam

mccarthy, thank you very much for your very kind condolences over the problem we had. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you so much, senator inhofe. and we turn to -- let's see. who is next? senator booker. >> first of all, i want to say thank you to the ranking member and to the chairwoman for this opportunity. this is my first hearing on this committee. it is a privilege and honor to be here, especially with committed activists on both sides of the aisle who have a passionate concern for our country. it's an honor to be here as i begin my senate career. chairwoman, it was a long time ago that i was the mayor of new jersey's largest city. that's back in october. what frustrated me is i am a guy who believes very strongly in the power of markets, in the power of private enterprise and industry to help poor communities, creating jobs, creating economic activity, lifting people up. that's the idea of this country. but what i get frustrated with about being a mayor, having been a mayor, i look at the landscape of my city and frankly the landscape of the state of new jerse

administrator mccarthy for shining a light on the actions of a rogue employee.well, that's what patrick sullivan said, the assistant inspector general, when he said about ms. mccarthy's role. quote, to our knowledge, the first senior person to express concerns was ms. mccarthy. so i stand by what i said. now let me turn to the president's climate action. in his plan released on june 2013, president obama called for action to fight climate change. so we don't condemn future generations to a planet that is beyond repair. i couldn't agree more. because climate change is a catastrophe that is unfolding before our very eyes. the president's plan lays out a plan for action. it calls for a wide range of reasonable steps to reduce carbon pollution, grow the economy, through clean energy, prepare for future impacts such as rising sea levels and storm surges, and lead global efforts to fight climate change. when the president announced his climate change plan, many companies issued statements of support. including wal-mart. honeywell. dupont. dominion resources. american

we'll hear from epa chief jenna mccarthy on what environmental action the president could take by himself. >>> also, the latest on the southern storm that's starting to thaw it out and the emerging blame game surrounding atlanta's mayor, georgia's governor, and the 60 plus officials that are actually in charge of atlanta's urban sprawl of a metropolitan area. good morning from washington, it's thursday, january 30th. this is the "the daily rundown." also here later this hour, orrin hatch. his new republican pitch on health care. let's get right to my first reads of the morning. >>> republicans are signaling that they want to get some points on the scoreboard in 2014. legislative points, that is. and although the president's economic agenda is getting a cool reception from some republicans, there appear to be a few things the president pushed in his state of the union address that some republican leaders do want to make a deal on. first among them is immigration. but even as republicans hint that they hope to make an immigration deal, that they may be willing to negotiate, say, on part of

mike mcentire, and mccarthy, elected back in 1996, mccarthy won after her husband was an killed and sonounded by a gunman in 1993. she is part of a smaller number of moderates in congress who announced their plans to leave, some of them who are not likely to be replaced by similar candidates, which means that there are fears the next congress could be more partisan. >>> and greg maddux and tom glavine to be elected to the baseball hall of fame together since the duo of the new york yankees of old. both former braves pitchers will be joined by slugger frank thomas to make up the class of 2014. baseball writers who make up the vote continue to show disdain for a number of players who played during baseball's steroid era. >>> and a couple of items from space caught our attention here on earth today. the obama administration extending the life of the international space station by four years until 2024, to a cost of about $3 billion a year and the meter is running. nasa says the extension gives them more time to plan for the future of exploration. >>> and this just in from the hubble. incre

recall, mccarthy was hit in the head by a line drive in 2012. he had to undergo emergency brain surgery. the current pitcher says the new cap is just too big. giants pitcher sergio romo weighed in saying they won't wear it unless the league makes it mandatory. >> i wonder if it's one of the things like hockey, players wouldn't wear helmets at all. >> right. >> look. >> now it looks silly without it. check the morning commute. talking about slick roadways out there, something we haven't seen for a while. >> definitely. the grease and the oil has built up on the roadway, just happens when cars drive over it, slicker conditions until it can wash away with a good rain. mist here, glowing lights illustrate that in oakland. southbound 880 past the coliseum. glow to the lights. patches through oakland, fremont, east bay, you have slicker roadways. here, dublin westbound 580 not bad. smooth drive here out of the altamont pass. the arrow's marked where we show you that live drive. slowing at dublin interchange, that will clear up. that's a few more cars

mccarthy has had a long time to hog the stage alone.the question were asking all of our participants is, the one thing you learned last night about president obama was blank, was what? >> was that is going to reach out to congress and continue to ask the republicans to find common ground, but that after five years of trying to do that, we have a lot of progress that we need to continue to make a decent going to wait on the deck is going to take the actions that he needs to take to ensure that we continue to move america forward and help more people reach the middle class. and the ball is in their court. >> so as you listen to ms. mccarthy and these fine folks just it, he said there's a bunch of bills, present much to streamline the job training program, that sitting in the senate, the skills act the house republicans passed the house republicans are saying they have done all the stuff on the president and harry reid has ignored. what is your response? >> my response is how we have to make sure that when we are trying to find common grou

you can't ask the judge -- >> let me finish before i go to andy mccarthy. the pen pal in england, that's okay too, he can write from his jail cell to whomever he wants, anybody? >> during my time there, yes, you could write. all of that weren't through military sensors,ed prosecution is not particularly upset. they're getting their case no more problems with waterboarding. khalid sheikh mohammed's confessing in these manifestos. from the prosecutor's standpoint, they're quite happy tonight. >> i want to bring in andy mccarthy now who used to prosecute terrorists for a living. he was the lead prosecutor in the '93 world trade center bombing and helped launch the investigation. am i offbase? >> no, not at all. he's confessing, we don't need his confession the whole point of shifting our par dime after 9/11 from law enforcement to counter terrorism was the recognition that these characters were not mere criminals, they are enemies of the united states. can you imagine that during the second world war we would allow imprisoned germans or japanese operatives to

chairman of the committee michael mccarthy said they wanted to establish exactly how the fees were spent and if they represented value for money. the minister for the environment for hope in projected opposition criticism of the payments saying the establishment of arch water is a long time and within budget the bill officially returns next week but a political storm has already erupted after revelations over or tv you yet take the irish border has paid and fifty million euro in consultancy fees. this is our runaway train. that is out of control. the cost of which would be borne by the this time next year when the cats are forced into the door which is not accepted. what's happened here is an arsonist on the winter months are flying boat purity of control it using a blank check to mourn the dead people pay to enter the property taxes no beans to line the pockets of consultants and it was pressured to the old days and irish war shake the kids to come before the parole commission. it's very important. john tierney and other senior managers who are paid to manage come for the puppet and squ

and as president mccarthy and really address it, because, this makes the not only our department our commissioner look bad it makes the city look bad. so, i think that we really have to kind of make sure that this went through the right process. you know? that there was a lot of inspections done that people looked at the plans, and whether it was us or planning which is just the other department and i think that the other department that is a little bit responsible again, and you know, did they treat this owner, this is a constant question for us, did they treat this owner the same way they would have treated any other owner? >> in the same circumstance? with the same plans? with the same buildings? and that is really what we wants to get at. >> commissioner melgar? >> thank you, commissioner. >> everything that you guys have said is right on and i think that we, will, get on top of it, i think that this is a really good, staff and really a good commission and i would like to address, something a little different which is our pr. and i think that so, after this article, came out yest

robert kennedy worked for joe mccarthy so what was so appealing about this? willows appealing about this guy was he was not ordinary. he came out of the middle classes and represented something of elevating american tastes. the big change is the addition of public-sector unionism. liberalism as we once knew it as an electoral force collapsed with the tromping of mcgovernism and then reagan's, reagan and the republicans three electoral victories but liberalism reconstructs itself in the 1990s when labor reconstructs itself around public-sector unionism. that is why i say what happened in newark as an expression of this trend. andy stern the guy who created the force for what it is said and i "making the look said a quite -- correctly that essay used singly the most powerful warsh united states. he is right and we will have to deal with this into the future. >> please join me in thanking fred siegel.
